Enabling 6G or 12G
Mixed Mode Speed on SAS Expanders

Cisco IMC supports mixed mode speeds
of 6 gigabytes or 12 gigabytes for SAS expanders. This support is added because
6 gigabyte solid state drives (SSDs) are now giving way to 12 gigabyte SSDs.
Using this feature you can select a SAS expander in the Dynamic Storage tab and
enable either modes based on your requirements.
